By doing it whenever I wanted to know what a Japanese text was saying hah, I got better at it and especially after I started translating.
I use a translation tool to help me with all the vocabulary. Any vernacular/difficult words I search on a Japanese online vernacular dictionary(I basically then translate the dictionary entry!)
Once I got good at it it’s not difficult at all, and the grammar makes sense.
Then I double and tripe check everything to make sure I don’t make a mistake. After that I rewrite everything to be enjoyable to read in English, sometimes moving details from one sentence to another, without changing the meanings(except sometimes where necessary for reader’s understanding).

Hey, bro you didn’t need to give me a shout out but thanks lol. That was just the beginning, man. You have no idea how much this series means to me and if throwing you some support helps in any way then, expect more to come 🙂

Thanks so much for all the hard work you put in really it’s great! I advertise your website and translations like it’s the bible. Also I feel bad for how little I donated and you still gave me a shoutout much appreciated, expect way more in the future. 😉

So after hearing you read comments and it motivates you here i am leaving one for you 😀

You’re great! your translations are really good and you know how to convert emotions into your sentences and i can understand how hard it is since its from japanes and japanese is completely different than english what makes it hard to translate without losing the real meaning of it.

But you’re doing an amazing job , because i can understand and follow the story perfectly.

Thank you for your hard work and keep it up, but please dont overwork yourself.

im really enjoying reading everyday your translations but i’d recommend doing it weekly and split a chapter in 2 instead of 6 (depends on the lenght of a chapter)
So its probably easier for you to work on it and convey the emotions and meanings into your sentences since you have more time doing so 😀
if you’ve got a good routine and are getting faster then you can probably do 1 chapter a week just like a weekly manga
if you’re happy with the way you’re doing it now then of course there is no need to change 🙂

I want to release daily so that everyone can have something to look forward to every day! It’ll take me the same amount to translate them all anyway, so might as well release it as soon as I finish a section.
I know how bad it feels to not see updates for a few days, so I want to avoid that if possible.

Each one of the segments take about 7 hours or so to get to a finished version… actually how did I even manage to do it so far? Haha it’s cutting into a bit of sleep time I guess.
Some days when I have to go to work I won’t be able to release, but I’ll try to keep it at no less than one release every two days while I aim for one per day.

Well i’m happy about a daily release its fine with me and bette than waiting for new content 😀

But reading that you’re working like 7-8 hours on these segments i was worried about you overworking yourself and losing at some point your motivation.
thats why i said it would be better doing it weekly
BUT i see there is no need to worry because you need to love the Series very much so you can have fun doing that much work 🙂

I am getting a bit faster, if I don’t get stumped by a segment like yesterday’s. My first drafts are smoother than they used to be. I’m translating the sentences positively right away, instead of literally translating the often negative structure of the original Japanese.
Today’s segment is quite a bit shorter, so I’ll start on 6/6 once this one is done.

Just one question, the interlude you started with, isn’t it the second one? I believe there’s an interlude prior to that called moments inside the dragon carriage, which is where Subaru first finds out about Rem’s fate. Did you skip it?

I believe he said he skipped it because he felt that the second one flowed better, along with the fact that apparently the third interlude apparently recalls all of what happened in the first through exposition so it was unnecessary. He did say he might go back and translate the first part if he gets ahead of schedule though.

Interlude I is composed entirely of unimportant banter and cuts off right at the cliffhanger in the end. After I saw that it wasn’t included in the Anime, I re-read everything and felt the story continues more beautifully without it, since Interlude I is more suited as a cliffhanger ending than as a beginning.

Interlude II draws the reader’s interest since it’s about Rem, who we haven’t seen since she left a few episodes ago, so everyone would be wondering. Then half way through it explodes into action. The storytelling and the action of Interlude II is just pure brilliance, and is set in flashback so there is no worry of missing information, so I think it’s a much better introduction to the WN than Interlude I.

Interlude III then ties everything together from the end point of the Anime(including Interlude I) to the present moment, so no information is lost.

I thought that was the best episode of anime I had ever seen. If you turn off subtitles and watch and listen to Sloth’s ranting, the fights, the character’s emotions and actions, oh man that was a truly impressive work of art. Then the ending, holding the shot for the whole dramatic music piece. I love it. When I finally make my wall art TV that will be one of the scenes it holds from time to time. The falling head and the falling snow, oh man, my brain trembles, I have to go watch it again.

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you so much that all I can say

After reading your translations, and noticing how quickly-released and well-done they are, I realized that you are more than worthy of donations.

You’re doing me and all of the other Re:Zero fans that only speak English a HUGE favor. Seriously — without you, I would have to wait probably 5 years for Yen Press to translate the Light Novels, or wait 2 or so years for White Fox to make a season 2, assuming they will at some point. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say thank you so much!

You’re doing god’s work. I’m rather poor at the moment, but I still sent a donation your way. You deserve it!

Thank you so much Blake!! So many times I’ve found myself at a loss for words in the last few days, and this is one of them!
I’m so glad to have you following my translations, so glad they’re making people a tiny bit happier than they were before… Thank you!!

Chiken-sama thanks for the hard work, totally awesome to know you are enjoying to do this too. I’d recommend you to get together with other translators, so maybe you could help each other mad make things a little bit easier, also, the reddit page is full of “thank you” comments so you can be sure your works a 100% worthy..

Thank’s a lot. I myself have bad (very bad!)english knowledge but your translate is too easy and good.I hope keep it to end. *_^
I agree with Anonymous-san too.(i want say that things too 🙂
How many chapter is coming in web novel ?It’s very different from light novel ?

U r amazing i love you so much for doing this! I watched over 300 animes and can easily say that re zero reallly is my all time favourite and thanks to you i can continue reading what happesn after thanks so much!!

I’m not sure if this will be any help, but someone uploaded a rough translation of the first 20 chapters of Arc 4. It included these instructions, “I would recommend throwing this ‘summary’ at someone who has a less meagre grasp of Japanese, an excess of free time, and a haritable personality and pestering them to rectify my fuckups.”

On a completely unrelated note, do you think you could combine all of the different parts of each chapter into one post after you finish them? It seems like it’ll get awkward after awhile if each chapter remains split among a bunch of different posts.

The Kanji characters have intrinsic meaning and makes reading-comprehension a lot easier…I think. It’s basically Chinese, where everything is Kanji. (Kanji is the Japanese word for “Chinese character” and the word itself is written in Chinese characters which is pretty funny)

Any chance you’ll slowly work your way back and translate the stuff that the anime covered? Even if it was a great anime I’m betting some details were skipped for times sake that are pretty important if the manga is any indication.

I recommend starting from Interlude II, the story progresses much more beautifully that way.
Interlude I only contains banter and ends with a cliffhanger, which is good as a cliffhanger ending, but not good as a beginning. I think it will make a lot of people stop reading since there is no action in Interlude I.
Interlude II does the reveal far better.
Everything is explained in Interlude III, not Interlude I, so you won’t miss anything.

Thank you for the times and effort you dedicated on this project despite in midst of your busy days, i, a fellow fan, trully appreciate it, and from the bottom of my heart, wish to offer you my deepest gratitude

If you can give me feed back after reading I’ll really appreciate it! I usually care more about effect than proper grammar though, but needless and unintentional mistakes I’ll fix!
I have a pretty weird schedule so I usually release as soon as I’m satisfied with a translation, and then scramble for 10 minutes to fix any typos and missed words I suddenly noticed.

Wow man I love you thank god someone is translating this amazing series I tried to get my Japanese girlfriend to translate for me(that’s how much I love the series) but she said it was to much work and blah blah blah.So thx man

Holy chicken, may I ask you a question? I know you have your hands full trying to translate each chapter in the first place, and I understand why you’re doing it in parts (so you can get out consistent releases), but when you are done with each chapter, why not combine the parts? It’s just a suggestion, I honestly don’t mind either way.

shhhhhh just click the link at the end you lazy bum
There are comments at the end that record all the helpers that can point out some corrections people tanking the HolyChickenOVERLORD for the good work he is doing.
And there is you who can’t be bothered to click the link provided at the end.
Do you not know shame..(rings bell) Shame! (rings bell),Shame! (rings bell), *flings egg* OH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE NOT THE EGGs!!!!… FORGIVE ME HC FOR I HAVE SINED!!!

One more time, i said “Thank You” for everything that you all had done. You all keep the Re Zero alive when the Re zero animation on her “Slumber” (I hope so, not dead please). Keep up the good work and you will always have my support and pray for this beautiful translation web.
Terima Kasih, Selamat Sukses!

Once again, I must thank you. You’ve been pouring your time into translating when there are many thing you probably would rather do. Once again, thank you. Keep up the good work; we’re all cheering you on.

Amazing job! I’ve been looking for the translations of the web novel since the final episode of the anime. Crazy how you’re dishing out so many in such a short amount of time, compared to those that take weeks for a single chapter. One question though, are you planning on also translating the side stories sometime later?

Hey, i just want to thank you so much, really, what you’re doing is just amazing
Also, i don’t know if this helps, but there is a page with translations up to arc 6 in spanish, so if there is someone who can’t translate from japanese but it can from spanish, this could help, it’s “resumenesrezerodetzeeno.blogspot.mx”

Anyone else here thinks that Satella give Subaru the Return to Death ability so that he can save Emilia from dying until the time comes that she can be Satella’s Vessel? What if it is really meant for Subaru to fall inlove to Emilia since Satella wants to be loved? therefore she is the best candidate to became a vessel…and then Emilia will become the ruler of Lugunica…do i make sense?

The front page is getting pretty stuffed day after day (which is a reason to celebrate, really) but don’t you think it might be better to rearrange the completed chapters on a single page with a common thumbnail, for the sake of easier navigation? I hope to see many more chapters translated, and I shudder to think what the main page going to look like in this bright future you are making for us.

I was searching for Re:Zero novels all over the internet so I could buy them. However, with no luck, I didn’t find anything new because they were all already in the anime. Then, I stumbled upon your amazing website.

TheHolyChicken, you are my hero. The anime series changed my life, and I can’t wait to read more about the characters and story. Now that the light novels are licensed, we cannot hope to read them for another year or more. But you have taken the responsibility and gathered the courage to translate the web series for us. You truly are my hero.

Heard you were down with the flu. Same here, I was pretty dead until just last week! Take it easy man, don’t overdo it. Take your time, rest, and relax until you feel better. As always, thank you for your work; I hope you get better soon! Take care mate!

[I’ll release the whole Chapter together! It will be ready in a few hours!]

Wooooohuuuuu!, who’s da man!.. Err, chicken,, I mean, heh

Anyhow! Awesome work!, I thank you deeply and I am extending my invisible hand over your shoulder to give you 3 strong pats in true appreciation of your efforts, get well soon, get rich and get laid and have a great week ahead!

Allow me to extend these Thanks & wishes to your awesome team members as well!, who sadly don’t get enough love lol. Thank you guys so much, each of you translators, awesome synergy and a great team indeed!

Yes please, the whole chapter at once! Even if takes the same amount of time or even more, PLEASE! Much better to read it in one go (can’t hold back when you release parts and I don’t feel too good about it)

Can we just have a chapter a week, every Sunday, just like how it was with the anime ❤ so I'd still have an energizer to start the week( we're at GMT+8 so it's Monday on this country) Just a selfish suggestion, LOVE YOU CHICKEN ❤ ❤ ❤

I thought that last one seemed a bit long and although I loved it I think you should continue doing it in intervals. Otherwise others like myself will be thrown off and it gives us something to look forward to day by day instead of the longer wait. Either way keep up the awesome work.

Mmmm, I’ll continue to think about it! Chapter 6 will be way longer with 6000+ words, and I am a bit worried whether it will be too overwhelming to read all at once.
When I get to a point where it’s a good cliffhanger I’ll consider whether I should release up to there! Haha

Bro, maybe its too late, but I’m from Indonesia, and I make translation from your translation into my own language. Sorry for not say this first, but I hope you can always your work so frequently.. hehe..
Btw for my work on wy own language, you guys can read on Re:Zero Arc 4
I hope you give me a permission, but sorry for not say this at the beginning.

Hey Denniel, please give credit, and link to this site. Please don’t remove the credits at the beginning of the chapter when you re-release it.
As long as you do that, you may re-translate it to your native language :3

I think set release dates would be better, like everything you have once a week. My poor refresh button is wearing out. Then people won’t be hounding about when the next release is all the time. Honestly though, any way you want to do it works for me, just thankful for the chance to read ahead! Thanks translation team!

I just discovered this page today! I cannot thank you enough for translating the web novel. For those like me who can’t understand ANY Japanese, this is truly a god send. Loved the anime and hopefully i’ll enjoy the novel just as much ^.^

Chicken realease only one chapter per week, if its too much for you, i have no problem in waiting it at all, but i dislike as fuck when someone put this to launch somethint to someday, and it itis launched.

Chicken-sama, We are worried about you. Are you sick? If yes, then get well and dont turn into nuggets. If you are busy, then do it as your priority. It’s fine for us but I only wish that you would reply about what’s going on to Chicken-sama recently at least.
I Love You tho! XOXO

Yey!! good to hear that Chicken-sama. I’m so glad that you’re okay
Anyways, Be healthy and please don’t overexert yourself… just remember that whenever you get tired, you can always relax your wings while reading these wonderful comments from your loyal readers.
And before you do your stuffs, chill and take our energy.
In times of struggle and success…
Our love is always here to support you!

Hey man, your work here is amazing. High quality translations and fast releases, I love that. Just wondering, since I’m so anxious about the next chapter, what happened for the release to be postponed?
Keep them coming,
Cheers from Brazil.

I’ve been feeling really really tired and ended up sleeping for the larger part of the day. I’m feeling a bit better today and getting more done :3
There’s still about 10 hours of translating and editing left to do though.

I love reading your translation, I love the excitement time slot your created in our lives, but that won’t stop me from loving you as a human being.

What you’re doing is like a day job where ppl spend 8 hours at, get paid for, and have the rest of the day to live ya know. I’m very glad that you have a great team to help you. Still here’s the message for you and for the team as well. Yall should take it easy. Don’t push yourselves, you’ve got studies and time to rest or workout watch or read, recreational activities you know.

So please don’t push yourself to the point where you get physically or mentally tired, we appreciate it already, and we can wait, and we want you to be okay and lead a good life for yourself before others.

Thank you for everything you’ve done, and find time for “you” whenever you can.

You guys sound like you’re sleep deprived. For all I know, you probably are. You need rest; don;t overwork yourselves. Human beings need sleep, and although I wish that wasn’t so because sleep is overrated : ^ ) you guys need to try and make time for rest. Translating is something people get paid to do as a profession, and you guys have spent so much free time into doing this for us. Rest up so you don’t die, and make sure to take care of yourselves. Keep up the good work guys.

Hey guys, I know everyone’s already been telling you to make sure you get some sleep and to not overwork yourselves, but I just wanted to give you some advice on how to manage this translation project. When I wanted to read the Shinsekai Yori original novel, I looked and looked for an English translation and could only find this one good fan-made one (b/c no official English one) here: http://shinsekai.cadet-nine.org/ .

The translator on this project worked alone on translating what seems to be a ~500 page novel and was really only able to get through it by setting up a manageable schedule for it. They only translated like a single page a day until they were finally done, posting the day’s translations as they went. They would get some editing advice from other people posting comments on the post, too, so much of what they did was only translating a relatively small portion at once. I don’t really want to tell you how to do this, but I think an approach like this might be better for you guys; it would at least be more manageable and less stressful than what you seem to be doing currently.

Based on a couple of your add-on comments to some of the chapters, you have spent more than once staying up very late trying to translate and edit a huge portion of text all at once, rather than breaking it up into smaller segments. I want you to think about maybe implementing a more manageable schedule system where you only work on it for an hour or two at most when you can, because this will quickly turn into something you don’t enjoy doing if you only do it in huge chunks and it starts impacting other areas of your life. Please think about maintaining your health and a healthy work/life balance so you don’t burn out and start resenting doing something that should be relatively fun and fulfilling. Get well soon.

You’re quite right, I started translating because I enjoy it, and kept going because it was making people’s days a little happier and that made it all the more fun.
When I feel tired it’s hard to focus and I really wasn’t sure if I could do a good job. But just know that I’ll always come back and keep going as long as there are people wanting to read.

Page by page scheduled translation is quite a good idea. It’s given me an idea just now, I could release small chunks on Patreon as soon as I finish it, and then when there is enough for a segment I can then release them together on translationchicken.

That Shinsekai Yori translation looks beautiful… I only watched half way through that anime years before. I’m going to start reading it I think!

Hey Chicken, if you are sick, focus on getting better, we need our translator alive 😉
But seriously now, after all the hard work that you (and all the team) had, you guys deserve some rest, don’t overdue!
Also, thanks for the hard work!

I really hope you feel a little bit better now, i can’t thank you all enough for what you do, but as someone said earlier in this post, don’t overwork, everyone here can feel only happines from reading your translation, so no one is going to tell you to hurry or something, if you want to translate, go at your own pase, *w* again, thank you so much ^w^

The Anime is based on the LN with some cuts. The Manga is not related to the the Anime, and is only based on the LN with some differences.
The LN is based on the WN, and is almost identical. The plot is the same with some updates on details and generally shortened overall.

The most significant change in Arc 3 was that two shorter WN Betelgeuse-battle loops were combined into one LN loop(the Episode 22 one), so Subaru died one less time. But this didn’t have an impact on the plot.

You must be getting tired of reading this all the time, but I really do appreciate your and the staff’s work. Don’t overexert yourself now Chicken <3. I wonder how many chapters the Sanctuary will last…

This chapter is 5000 words and about 11 pages.
I will release them together as a larger segment once I get there. But posting the pages as I go is quite nice.
The translation still goes at the same speed, but working in smaller chunks helps me quite a bit, and I can post the progress s soon as a page is done :3

I’m really glad I was able to cheer you up a bit and I’m so happy with your page-at-a-time approach, really smart option in the efficiency department, as well as keeping your mind body and soul at ease away from the large text translations + deadlines.

I say keep at the approach you see fit, since you and the team are on the inside of this tremendous effort, so you know best. I’m personally liking this page-at-a-time idea since I’m feeling that you’re feeling better this way, and you know that I know that you know that this has always been our top priority, keeping you happy and inspired with our comments in return of your awesome efforts, it’s the least we can do!

Hontoni Arigatou Gozaimasu, ❤

Because it’s animated after the light novel, this one is the web novel. Even if they’re the same in content, the light novel is sold and needs some space to sell and incentive the market. If there was an anime so fast, there would be no need for a light novel to be serialized. The light novel isn’t far from where the Chicken is at already, too. Let’s speculate that in 2018 there would be enough space for a sequel if the studios sees fit.

No I’ve only read up to my own translations! So I’ve only read as much as you guys have :3
Way before I started translating I did get spoiled on the plot from the Wiki summary, but that’s nothing compared to the feeling of reading the real thing.

Thanks for the effort, Chicken. It’s much more pleasing to read in 4 or 6 parts than it is in 12. This novel is just too interesting for you to get satisfied with one page a day.
Good luck on your finals.

I feel like I need to show you my apreciation for your hard work.
Thank you all for this amazing fan-translation! All the translators and of course, you, Supreme Chicken-Sama!
You. Are. Awesome.
Lots of love from Brazil ❤

Thank you so much for your hard work! I really appreciate it and think it’s amazing job. It is pleasure to read this translation. I can feel lot of dedication and your hard work in it not only to translate but to give the exact feeling the web manga has in Japanese.
Thanks a lot from Poland you’re amazing.

I’ve woken up yesterday at exactly 1:00 am, couldn’t sleep cause I was sick. About 30 minutes I found your domain Chicken and I got hooked immediately! I’ve read and read till 3:00 am and forgot that it’s still a school day. MONDAY. Keep up the good work! And always remember: Quality over Quantity
Cheers

Hey, was looking begin reading on Re: Zero and found your site, TY so much!…. This may already have been asked before but do you plan on translating the WN of the previous Arcs?(Namely Arc1-2 and most of the 3)

i am a person that never leave a comment ever in any website or blog. I came from Malaysia. I bumped into your website while searching for episode 26 after the anime. After reading on all the transcriptions, I can’t help to say “Thank you for all your great works!”. Thank you for all the efforts your team has put in. It amazes me! Thank you!

Nugget-Sama, I have been working on assembling a translation memory for you from your translations. Incase you are unfimiliar with the term: you can upload all those files to: https://translate.google.com/toolkit and it will give you suggestions on what you might translate it as given your previous translations. Just give it a try, but only once Im done assembling them. For now, heres a line that was ommited in your translation of Chapter 1, “その結果、どうにも気まずい空気だけが流れ出しているのだった。”

Could you please reply me with its translation so that I can add it to the translation memory. Couldnt find what it meant on google translate…

eeehh i wonder if echidona can also smell the “witch’s scent” from subaru. i mean someone who carries the exact same smell of the resentful witch who killed your friends comes to you, what would you feel?
and dammit subaru! theres a lot of things that you could ask! dont waste this golden opportunity!
anyway, happy holidays nugget sama, ill close my eyes whenever i encounter nuggets served in parties 😀

Hope everything’s alright! Got really into these translations (they’re EGG-cellent quality!) and I haven’t seen an update… Fuel my addiction! Thanks chicken! You’re helping us who would never learn the language appreciate someone’s art!

Hey chicken, would you mind linking to the first Interlude on here? It was done by someone else and just a quick link to it and a disclaimer that you didn’t do it might be fine.

The first Interlude, in my opinion, is very important. After I caught up, I decided to read it to see what I missed out on and I desperately wished I read that first. As it is, you don’t read Interlude II with the sense of dread and uneasiness that the author intended because you don’t have that cliffhanger. People want the next chapter part ASAP, of course, and you already have a lot of work so I don’t think it’d be in anyone’s interests to have you translate it, but just linking to the version in the translation compilation (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ija_k96Y0lPBwF1cjdkLqtkEPNK573coXuxd3Htweag/edit) would do a lot of favors, I think. I know I desperately wish I read it first and feel rather unfortunate to not have.

I read it… and i think The Almighty Holy Chicken was right when he told us just to skip it….. anyways….
here you have a link to the translation:http://pastebin.com/5fVyEtsC
Thankfully, a redditor had it reuploaded.
I hope i have bin useful.

Ah sorry should have been more specific. I meant more for this table of contents page. With arc 4 alone being 100+ chapters I’m sure it will eventually get quite bothersome to scroll all the way down the 100 or so chapter links to see any sort of post that you do. For computers it may not be too much a problem but for mobile it will be hell I bet

Chicken-sama, is it true that Ark 4 is around 140 chapters? If it is then it’ll take a very long time to catch up, huh? Also, I really want to thank you and the team for all that you’re doing! Take your time, don’t feel like you need to rush! Also, I’m a tad late but I hope you had a nice birthday, Christmas, and Happy New Year ^-^

It is true, actually, when you think of it, we haven’t even reached 10% of the fourth arc x’D The 4th arc is known to be as long as the first three arcs GATHERED 😛 Don’t know about arc 5 and 6 isn’t finished

First of all I’m the kind of guy who never comments on such things but your work is truly remarkable and for that you have my thanks! Second, has the rate been slow lately or is this how it usually goes? Just curious and I’m still quite happy that anyone’s doing this at all so I’ll take whatever I can get. Again, thanks Mr. Chicken.

Not long ago Yenpress started releasing this. So far there are 2 volumes (and I’ve got them!). Third volume comes out on late March I believe. Do you think they will translate this whole masterpiece? Or will they just simply release what has been adapted in the anime?

My greetings, Chicken-dono, I’m writing to you to provide some advice.
I understand that you are currently working, your job and life are important, don’t let the translating take away from your life. So, I propose that you should post updates only when a new chapter is about to be released, or the day before it is released. That way, you won’t be pressured too much by us readers.

Hey nugget! Your drafts are improving greatly, almost can’t tell what needs to be improved apart from some really obvious mistakes that still can be understood with ease. Maybe you won’t need to be so concerned about the edits since the drafts getting better means that the edit will be easier and faster!
I also worked as anime subtitle translator (to portuguese), and the first attemps took me 3-5 hours a full episode, but after a while I was taking 1-2 hours at higher quality and demanding every time less editing. So the tendency is to get better, and to not give up, sometimes 2-3 days at break and you’ll be missing the feeling of the thing.
Just to let you know that your work, amazing from the very beginning, just keeps getting better. Don’t let the ever incresing amount of readers thirsty for more content and complaining somewhere get to you, they don’t mean any harm and just want to read more, like anyone else.
Cheers, you make my day a lot better every time there`s a new draft or release up to read.
Love from Brazil!

whoa.. from the looks of it. (reading the live draft). it’s possible roswaal was one of the archbishop of sin. this would make sense since it looks like he doesn’t want to confront/battle with the other archbishop thus a blackbook (probably a gospel 101%) in his possesion. and with that nature of his, he could be PRIDE.

on the contrary. he may have been killed PRIDE. well this statement makes no sense for me. since i think subaru can’t use the black book but it looks like roswaal could use it. so i think that roswaal is another archbishop is possible.

Roswaal, Roswaal… being a dick to Subaru was not probably a good idea, no matter what your Gospel tells you.
He also said in was an improved version of what Cult has. Could it actually be SUBARU’s Gospel, the one describing his future or the right choices he has to take to survive?
Roswaal clearly knew the kid will make it, but he doesn’t seam to know what he has been through to get there. Thus he probably doesn’t understand that making himself responsible for Rem’s sacrifice in Subaru’s eyes might be shooting himself in the leg in the long run.

Really like your translations, tbh i think your translations are better then the light novel since the light novel don’t really give a in depth explanation like you do and the humor you display is much more relaxing compared to the light novel. Keep up the good work and hope to see you more in the future. 🙂 Take your time, your doing a great job already, your actually the reason I’m reading books,novels now, but still your works are much more entertaining to me than other works since you put your mind and effort into it. Your awesome. 😀

I’m sorry to bother anyone, but can anyone tell me where I should go after reading the first two Light Novel’s? I’m looking to see if I can find any fan translation of the light novel volume 3 but I haven’t found anything. I’m hesitant to go watch the anime as it sounds like it’s further then where I am and I vastly prefer to find out through reading rather than watching.

I’ve tried to look into editing or deleting my post as my research has had me discover I’m still in the middle of Arc 2 or the beginning of the Light Novel Volume 3. Sadly I’ve been unable to but if anyone knows where a fan English translation for either Light Novel Volume 3 or Arc 2 are I’d appreciate learning.

It is actually illegal to translate a light novel, as it is a published book. The light novel is the edited version and shorter version of the Web novel, which is free and not copyrighted. Try out the anime, it was really good :.)

Thanks you this. I appreciate your constant translation and that you don’t give up on the project. I love that you make notes of the dates and what you are doing. I will pick this up later, again thanks a bunch.

It’s not near the end, the WN is planned to be 11 arcs, it’s only at arc 6. The Anime took up the entirety of last year and the year before, it makes sense that Tappei would be busy.

Tappei has repeatedly confirmed that the ReZero WN will continue. In his stickied post on his Twitter he is saying that he will continue writing the WN after he finishes the loads of work he has at the moment.
